mrmat01 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The .diff files are not combatable between OB & stable I copy my .diff file from my stable saved games to my OB saved & OB just doesn't recognize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team USSR_Rik Posted July 27, 2020 ED Team Share Posted July 27, 2020 They are compatible 100% because of OB and Release have the same version: Latest stable version is 2.5.6.52437 Current openbeta is 2.5.6.52437 Possible causes: wrong file/folder name after copypaste, different Windows version in OB and release. Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down.

Ok I'm sorry but it still isn't compatible. Different windows version ?? Impossible my stable & OB are on the same PC Different drives & everything is up to date. I wish I could afford two PC's that would run DCS. Not wrong file name same file (MATY #1 F-16 SIM AB.diff) tested multiple times. Please see attached images of example as to what is happening. The 1st pic is of .diff file loaded from F:\Mat Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MY CONTROL SETS The 2nd is loaded from F:\Mat Saved Games\DCS\MY CONTROL SETS Notice in the 2nd pic the duplicate & missing control bindings. Tested while running in OB & then stable. got the same result just visa versa. This is a simple .diff file (control bindings) there should not the compatibility issues that I'm experiencing even when stable & OB are different versions.MATY #1 F-16 SIM AB.diff.lua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team USSR_Rik Posted July 30, 2020 ED Team Share Posted July 30, 2020 Then look for the difference between your local OB and release. They have the save versions and they identical by code.

mrmat01 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Then look for the difference between your local OB and release. They have the save versions and they identical by code. ?? I'm sorry but that statement doesn't make much sense. Its pretty obvious that you are not interested in acknowledging the issue. I'm just reporting a issue I am having & it just seems that it is being completely dismissed. Edited July 30, 2020 by mrmat01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Mate, Rik was trying to help you by ensuring both your stable and OB versions were up to date, that's all. I suggest to merge this thread with mrmat01's initial thread. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmat01 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Mate, Rik was trying to help you by ensuring both your stable and OB versions were up to date, that's all. I suggest to merge this thread with mrmat01's initial thread. I have already mentioned everything is up to date. I'm sorry but his sentence wasn't helpful. I did not understand what he was asking/saying. I am describing my issue as best as I can with as much information as I can. Yes you did give me a suggestion on how to fix it temporarily by renaming a core file. The next time there is an update I have to do it again. :wallbash: Edited July 31, 2020 by mrmat01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 No, the next updates won't overwrite your .diff.lua, they never will. That's the beauty of it. The game holds default bindings in its own .lua files. The game holds YOUR custom bindings in .diff.lua files. An update doesn't contain any .diff.lua files. This means an update CANNOT replace your bindings by others. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-J Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Just to make sure - did you try to save and load ctrl files on the device-per-device basis? Keyboard diff to keyboard category, throttle diff for throttle, joystick diff to joystick etc? "MATY #1 F-16 SIM AB.diff" sounds very vague and it's not clear which controller this file relates to. That being said, copying the whole input folder between OB and stable Saved Games locations has always been working for me, but then I never tinkered with default folder structure (C:\Users\[my profile]\Saved Games). You have apparently (F:\Mat Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\) and maybe the game can't load diffs, because it can't find them where they're supposed to be? i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
